 WASHINGTON, D. C., May %, 1887.
 The popular verdict is that the National Drill which has just clos ed was the greatest event of its character that has occurred since the war. Crowds of humanity were present at it's daily exhibi- tions. A splendid array of citizen soldiers from every section of the country contested for the hand. some prizes, and gave from day to day displays of marvellous proticien- cy in military tactics that caused wonder and delight among the en- thusiastic spectators. It was a magnificent success, and willl be remembered with pleasure by all who had any connection with it, whether as managers, soldiers or visitors.
 Attornev-General Garland, ex. Governor Hoadley and Senator Morgan are all out of the way as candidates for the Judgeship on the Supreme bench made vacant by the death of Justice Woods, but there is no shortage of patriot ic citizens who could be persuaded to make the sacrifice of an accep. tance' Speaker Carlisle, Judge ! Pettus, of Alabama, eX,COngress- man Hammonds. of Georgia, Sen, ator Gibson and Thos J. Semmes. of Louisiana, W C. Ballinger and Judge Willie, of Texas, J. Ran dolph Tucker, of Virginia, Judge Jackson, of Tennessee, Secretary Bayard, $. w. Williams and M. M. Rose, of Arkansas, are among those whose claims are being urged for the position. The President is in no hurry to make this appoint ment.
 The Treasury Department is en. deavoring to find the owners of the watches, jewelry, weapons. etc., captured by the Union Armies and turned over 10 the Treasury, the return of which has been au- thorized by Congress. The lot em- braces a promisGuons collection of jewelry, but none of any great val ne. This announcement, however, may enable some persons to re- oeive family heirlooms, to which great value is attached.
 The Presidents declaration that fraud on the ballot-hOx is the "worst of crimes,' calls mp q loud and lingering echo throughout the length and breadth of land. He is heartily commended for the vigCr. ous language in which he denOun- ceS the nffense, and this commeu- : lation is all the more genuine be- cause of the belief that he means every wori he said.

A long step toward dissolvlng tribal relations has been taken by the allotment law, passed by the forty-ninth congress and now be- Ing put in operation by Secretary Lamar. With the exception of five tribes the Indians now on the reservations will be made farmers and citizens of the United States. Each Indian will have a farm of his own, which he cannot sell, but which he will be obliged to cnlti- yate in order to earn living. In stead of depending upon the bonn- ty of the government he will here after raise his own meat and buy his own blankets. To this must it come at last.

Whilespeoulaton is rife as to who will be candidates for governor in 1888, we sug- gest Prof. Jas. Mitchell, of Little Rock, as a man in every way eminently fitted for that place.

The able editor of the Democrat has lots of strong friends in Hempstead.-Hope Gazette.
 We heartily agree with our neighbor, in the above. We know of no better Guhernatorial mater al than Proiessor Mitchell, and the PIcAYUNE would give him it's cor dial and hearty support.
